I'm using the deploy.bat and update.bat you packaged with the add-on but I get errors If I run them from an admin command prompt but it still appears to work with the install . any ideas why the errors still occur?

C:\Program Files\SplunkUniversalForwarder\etc\apps\TA-Sysmon-deploy\bin>update.bat
| was unexpected at this time.

then the update:

Sorry for the late response, but great thanks to @jdhunter for fixing the issue. I'll update the app on SplunkBase right away and incorporate the fix.

I would get the failed result regardless. I had to change the s to uppercase in "Sysmon installed" and that corrected all of the Install Failed messages I was receiving.

deploy.bat

echo %DATE%-%TIME% Installing Sysmon && "%SPLUNKPATH%\etc\apps\your_sysmon_app\bin\sysmon.exe" /accepteula -i c:\windows\config.xml | Find /c "Sysmon installed." 1>nul && echo %DATE%-%TIME% Install complete! && exit

You can use this command. I hope you'll not face any error and it'll work as you desired.

You need to correct some mistakes causing the error.

/accepteula -> -accepteula

c:\windows\config.xml -> "c:\windows\config.xml"

echo %DATE%-%TIME% Installing Sysmon && "%SPLUNKPATH%\etc\apps\your_sysmon_app\bin\sysmon.exe" -accepteula -i "c:\windows\config.xml" | Find /c "Sysmon installed." 1>nul && echo %DATE%-%TIME% Install complete! && exit
